A sterile implantable artificial substitute for a diseased (e.g., arthritic) or injured hip joint consisting of matching femoral (head/shaft) and acetabular components articulated at a ceramic-on-polyethylene or cross-linked polyethylene (PE) interface. Fixation devices for implantation (e.g., screws and bolts) may be included and implantation may be performed with or without bone cement.
